Calling all wanna-be ukelele players

 

          Since I had finished my last batch of library books and was avoiding the one for my book club (like a grumpy 9^th grader, I hate being told what to read), off I went to get more reading material.

          Our library is a small one, or maybe I’ve just read up everything by my favorite authors, so sometimes I’ll go to a neighboring town to see what they have. Still, there were a few new finds. I’m only on page 35 of Ian McEwan’s Atonement but it looks promising. The writing is certainly impressive.

          I tend to just march into the fiction section and march right out, but that day I meandered a bit and found all kinds of things.

An Eagle scout's project for discarded flags - 

These interesting and very non-reading kits:

Party in a bag.

        

For future ornithologists -

Or prep for that trip to Hawaii -

And I thought the lost and found collection in the lobby display case was inspired. (Or driven by an overflowing bunch of detritus they’re sick of tripping over..)

 

All of which I thought was pretty innovative for a small-town library.
